Transporting ATV
When transporting the ATV, Arctic Cat recommends that the ATV be in
its normal operating position (on all four wheels) and the following pro-
cedure be used.
1. Engage the brake lever lock and place the transmission in gear.
2. Turn the fuel valve OFF.
3. Secure the ATV with load rated hold-down straps.
NOTE: Suitable hold-down straps are available from your
Arctic Cat ATV dealer. Ordinary rope is not recommended
because it can stretch under load.
Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this ATV is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline.
Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methane are
acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gaso-
line antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture
in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is Arctic
Cat ACX All Weather synthetic
engine oil, which has been specifi-
cally formulated for use in this Arctic
Cat engine. Although Arctic Cat
ACX All Weather synthetic engine
oil is the only oil recommended for
use in this engine, use of any API
certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.
Recommended
Transmission Lubricant
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of genuine Arctic
Cat lubricants.
The recommended transmission lubricant to use is SAE 80W-90 hypoid.
CAUTION
Failure to engage the brake lever lock and place the trans-
mission in gear could result in the ATV rolling off the trailer
in the event of tie-down strap failure.
CAUTION
When using hold-down straps, care must be taken not to damage
the ATV.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only Arctic Cat approved gasoline addi-
tives should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could cause seri-
ous engine damage. Do not use oils which contain graphite or
molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect clutch
operation. Also, not recommended are racing, vegetable, non-
detergent, and castor-based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended one could
cause serious transmission damage.
